NAS Mildenhall

Series of images from a rather exciting day down the fence line. A Trip for 2 QA F15s turned into 6 Hornets diverting off the boat. Hope you enjoy :thumb:

Very good

What a bonus coming down Bravo ! I was at the other end hoping for a nice low departure

A CVN in the area certainly keeps people on their toes

You jammy beggars! What a coup, it just shows in this hobby of ours what can turn up out of the blue, pot luck, right place right time. Even the Sun shone for you, nice one :thumb:
